February 5, 1997

Before RUSSELL, WILKINS, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.

Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
George Dennis Underwood, Appellant Pro Se. Robert Jack Higdon,
Jr., OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM:
Appellant seeks to appeal the district court's order denying
his motion to reconsider a prior order denying relief under 28
U.S.C. 2255 (1994), amended by Antiterrorism and Effective Death
Penalty Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1214. We have
reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of appealability and dismiss the appeal on the reasoning of the district court.
United States v. Underwood, Nos. CR-94-17-P; CR-94-78-MU; CA-96209-P; CA-96-210-P (W.D.N.C. Aug. 26, 1996). We dispense with oral
argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before the court and argument would not
aid the decisional process.

DISMISSED
